We stay here regularly when in the area. The sites are level, the restrooms and showers are well-designed and clean. The trails across the Mississippi River dam are great. Only downside to this campground is its proximity to the highway and railroad. The trains dont come often, but when they do, they are loud. The highway is noisier during rush hour.
Excellent

Very nice and clean little campground with spacious sites, half of them right along the Mississippi River. Nice bathrooms with shower. Nice hiking trails. I would have rated it excellent except that its just off of Hwy 2 which unfortunately elevates the noise level.

Clean campground to include the bathrooms. Playground was great! Some road noise but that wasnt a deal breaker for us. The 1 am train with horns wasnt ideal. Another thing that was a bit of a bother were the non paying campers spending the night in the parking area near the playground and bathroom. The second night we also had someone spending the night in the pavilion near site 1. All that said we would stay here again.

Pokegama Dam ticks all the boxes...except mountains. It's convenient, priced right, clean, well-maintained, and level sites.

This is our favorite camp found. We had our 12 and 10 year old Grands. Took them fishing and caught some nice fish.

Campground is nice but very noisy next to Route 2. Campground has clean bathrooms and showers.

The camping sites were too short for our rig to fit. By the description on the website, I was under the impression the boat ramp could handle a boat bigger than a canoe, kayak, or rowboat. There was no way we could launch a full sized motor boat. It would be very helpful to have pictures and better descriptions of the campground sites and boat ramp area to inform people of the limited size. I would have never made reservations had I known how short the campsites were or about the inadequate boat ramp. We had to go to another campground and did not stay. It was very disappointing.

Love this campground. Will be back soon. Nice hiking trails and the sound of the Mississippi River is very soothing. Nice clean rest rooms and showers. We really like COE campgrounds.

Nice roomy sites with scenic vistas of the river. Enjoyed our overnight stop.

This a nice campground. We typically reserve campsite # 1 or 2, partly due to others already being booked. Campground is well maintained and we normally use the showers, which are kept clean. This is our go-to campground when visiting family in northeastern Minnesota. I know for some the railroad line that runs between the highway and campground can be loud, but does not bother us. You can also hear the highway traffic, but again does not bother us as we typically have a fan going to create some white noise.
